INDIANAPOLIS — Hoosiers want more competitive legislative districts that prioritize communities of interest together, rather than splitting their vote, according to a report from the Indiana Coalition for Independent Redistricting.
“We heard several consistent themes at all of the (10) virtual public hearings, revealing a desire for a new redistricting process in 2021 focused on the needs of voters and communities,” the coalition said. “Where voters choose their legislators, instead of legislators choosing their voters.”
Because of COVID-19, lawmakers haven’t received the finalized census numbers needed for redistricting, a process that happens just once every 10 years. With data projected to arrive sometime in the fall, legislators extended the session’s end date, or sine die, to Nov. 15.
